I had a really hard time waking up from the anesthetic, felt like I could've slept all day...actually, I pretty much did anyway. I'm hoping this soreness settles down soon.

I ordered new name plates for two sets of shifters - the Ultegra 6600s on my Cannondale and the DA 7800s on my Allez. I think I can handle the installation on them, just wish I could do the maintenance I need to do on my bikes.


The bone pain from that sorta surgery is crazy hard. I was shocked at how much it hurt. Both the collar bone and my elbow. Plus they're manipulating muscle to work in there. The good news is the recovery is much faster and the pain dissipates much quicker because the bones are stabilized.
